She's made no secret of the hard work involved in her dramatic weight loss and super-toned figure.

And Nadia Forde is more than happy to show off the fruits of her labour as she flaunts her bikini body during a sun holiday to Dubai.

The model-turned-actress jetted out to the millionaire’s playground on Sunday with her other-half – Welsh rugby player Dominic Day – and wasted no time in topping up her tan.

The 26-year-old, who is a devout gym goer showed off her slimmed-down figure and toned stomach in a series of revealing bikinis on Snapchat.

Nadia Forde in Dubai

Nadia and Dom, who last week marked their one-year anniversary, are staying at the exclusive five-star Rixos at The Palm resort. Their digs for the week aren't half bad - the loved-up couple splashed out on a hotel suite with a walk-in wardrobe.

As well as lounging in the sun and enjoying dinner dates, the couple have also been staying active with a paddle board session in the calm Dubai waters.

Nadia and Dom, who has just finished a busy Six Nations campaign with his native Wales, will spend the rest of the week soaking up the sun in their lavish surroundings.

The striking brunette, who has lost more than two stone since appearing on I’m A Celebrity at the end of 2014, turned heads in a blue Seafolly bikini. As well as working out, Nadia told the Diary that she watches what she eats, but it’s not all about her weight.

“It’s not necessarily a weight thing – yes, that’s a by-product, but certain foods don’t agree with me and I feel quite lethargic afterward. I do need to watch what I eat. It’s not a situation where I can eat pizza every night. But I am a girl, and crave things like chocolate,” she added.

A haven for the wealthy and glamorous, Dubai has been a destination of choice for a string of Irish models, including former Miss Ireland Aoife Walsh, who is just back from a trip to the UAE.

Nadia’s former BFF Georgia Salpa is another regular to the hotspot, and spends a lot of her time in Dubai with husband Joe Penna and their sons.
